IWK, MPM jalin kerjasama perkasa keterangkuman bagi golongan OKU

Indah Water Konsortium (IWK) and Majlis Paralimpik Malaysia (MPM) have joined forces to promote greater understanding, acceptance, and meaningful participation of people with disabilities (OKU) in daily life, particularly in the lead-up to the Asean Para Games 2027 in Kuala Lumpur. The collaboration aims to raise public awareness about the capabilities and achievements of the OKU community through the #WeThe15: Inclusive Together initiative, which aligns with global efforts to combat discrimination, remove barriers, and advocate for equal rights and opportunities.

The partnership will focus on promoting the #WeThe15: Inclusive Together campaign, which is expected to increase public awareness and foster an inclusive society. MPM's President, Megat D Shahriman Zaharudin, believes that sports events like the Asean Para Games serve as an excellent platform to showcase the talents and accomplishments of the OKU community. He hopes that the #WeThe15: Inclusive Together initiative will help to raise public awareness and encourage a more inclusive society.

IWK's Executive Chairman, Narendran Maniam, stated that the organization is proud to support this initiative, recognizing the corporate responsibility to strengthen the inclusion of the OKU community and create more opportunities for them. He emphasized that #WeThe15: Inclusive Together aligns with IWK's Sahabat Istimewa IWK program, which aims to strengthen the OKU community, promote inclusion, and provide more opportunities for individuals to actively participate in various aspects of society.

According to Maniam, inclusion is not just about raising awareness; it is about ensuring that every individual is recognized, valued, and given the chance to contribute and develop their potential. The collaboration between IWK and MPM aims to challenge stereotypes and unlock the talents, achievements, and contributions of the OKU community through this initiative.

Together, they aspire to create an inclusive society where everyone is valued, respected, and given equal opportunities to participate, develop their potential, and succeed in life.
